GURUGRAM: Almost two years after the department of town and country planning (DTCP) ordered handover of nine licensed colonies to MCG, the principal accountant general (audit) of Haryana government has sought details for an investigation.
The queries, sent to the senior town planner (STP), mainly include the status of DPRs for deficient infrastructure amounting to Rs 92 crore in the colony takeover and what action was taken if the builders of seven colonies didn’t seek completion certificates.
In May 2022, on the directions of the chief minister, orders for takeover of nine licensed colonies were issued by DTCP — Mayfield Garden, Greenwood City, Malibu Towne, Uppal Southend, Vipul World, Sushant Lok 2 and 3, Ardee City and Rosewood City.
In a letter to the STP sent recently, the principal accountant general has sought replies on whether non-saleable, such as roads, open spaces, public parks, community service areas and public health services have been transferred to MCG. He also sought details of such areas in all nine colonies, along with ownership and third-party rights.
“Out of nine colonies, completion certificates have been issued to two colonies — Rosewood City in December 2017 and Greenwood City in April 2019. The reasons for non-issuance of completion certificates to the rest of seven colonies may be furnished for audit. Further, it may be clarified whether any action was taken against these developers on account of non-completion of services,” the letter read.
“DTCP is studying the letter and a reply will be sent to the principal accountant general’s office,” a senior official from the department said.
